Ever felt the need to convert a #PDF into a fixed-layout #EPUB that preserves the table of contents, internal cross-references and hyperlinks? Finding no out-of-the-box solution, I've developed one myself using #Python and the #PyMuPDF library. Here it is, open source, and ready for use:

My script is particularly suitable for the conversion of complex layout PDFs generated with variants of #TeXLaTeX.
Enjoy!

@andre_ourednik Hi André! This looks amazing! But as a non-dev Windows person, please allow me to I ask if it would be hard for you to offer it as a command line executable, taking parameters?

@daniel Hi, thanks for your feedback. Packaging this in an executable is beyond my resources but, in reaction to your post, I now provide more thorough step by step installation insctuctions, including for Windows.
Also, you can now set the parameters in a config file, rather than editing the preamble of the main python code. Tell me if this helps

@andre_ourednik thanks for your kindness! The new instructions are very clear... I'll test them soon 🤗
